mcabber can’t connect

[Member kouroukinos77]

I can’t connect to mcabber at this morning, but yesterday night it worked good. I don’t know why. All permissions is good.

Thanks for using mcabber!

MCabber says WARNING: Bad permissions! What are “good” permissions for mcabber?
MCabber expects its directory to be 700 (rwx——) and your configuration file should be 600 (rw——-) to ensure that nobody else can read it.

You are already providing the answer in your post.
Check the permissions of both the folder and file that the wiki FAQ mentions.
ls -lh $HOME | grep "mcabber"
should tell you that the folder .mcabber permission is drwx——
ls -lh $HOME/.mcabber/ | grep "mcabberrc"
should tell you that the file permissions are -rw——-
If any of them are not as described by the wiki FAQ entry, change the permissions with the “Property” option when you right click on them inside your file manager.
